Animal Dentistry

Looking for an animal dentist in Castle Rock?

We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to animal dentistry. That’s why we offer complimentary dental exams, so you can figure out exactly what your pet needs. (And we won’t lock you into an ongoing contract with dental services your pet may not need!)

We also believe that prevention is much better than pulling teeth. Our veterinarians will only pull teeth if it’s necessary for your pet’s long-term health and well-being.

Our dental care services for your pet family

Depending on your pet’s needs, our animal dentistry services include:

Complimentary dental exams to check your pet’s oral health and recommend the exact dental care your pet needs, if any. It’s a great way to put your mind at ease, and it’s free! (Don’t have time to come in? We also include a dental exam in our annual checkups.)

Pet dental cleanings and teeth polishing to clean away plaque, improve your pet’s breath and polish your pet’s teeth. Teeth polishing allows us to smooth the little divets that can occur naturally during cleaning. It slows the buildup of plaque.

Fluoride treatments to help strengthen your pet’s teeth and cut down the bacteria that lead to plaque buildup. We include fluoride treatments with every cat or dog dental cleaning.

Dental x-rays to examine the roots of your pet’s teeth. Think of your pet’s teeth as icebergs. We can only see one-third above the surface. X-rays help us determine if the teeth are healthy or need to be removed. If your pet is just starting to have an issue, we can start preventive measures immediately and potentially save teeth.

Tooth extractions to remove diseased teeth. We use anesthesia and pain medications to help your pet feel as comfortable as possible. And we’ll put your pet on antibiotics to help prevent infections. We also close the site with sutures to ensure food doesn’t get in, reducing the chances of infections. And finally, to speed the healing process, we’re happy to provide laser therapy. (It’s 100% optional.)

Bonding and sealing to reduce plaque buildup and try to save fractured teeth. From time to time, pets fracture their teeth. It happens! Rather than resorting to teeth extractions, we often can bond and seal the teeth to fill in the rough divets. (In dogs, a bond or seal typically lasts one to two years because of the way they chew their food.)

Anesthesia allows us to do a thorough cleaning. It’s also less traumatic for your pet.

When your pet is under anesthesia, we can:

Clean beneath the gum line and on the interior side of the teeth (areas susceptible to dental disease).

Polish away divots that can quickly build up with plaque.

Probe under the gum line to make sure that each tooth is healthy.

Take x-rays, when needed, to see if there is any root damage.

“My experience was beyond excellent. I never have a second thought about leaving Shanti in your care, even when putting her under anesthetic to have dental work done. Thanks for putting me at ease.” – Sher M.

“I feel so fortunate to have found Cherished Companions online for canine teeth cleaning. Cherished Companions was the only place that told me to bring our dog in first to get an estimate on cost.Dr. Melanie was awesome! She called me after the procedure to tell me how it went, which I appreciated.”Belinda
